In the women&#8217;s cell too, there were inadequate number of toilets and bathrooms.<\/p>\n<p>The inspection report had also said that these toilets were ill-maintained and dirty.<\/p>\n<p>In the affidavit submitted on Friday, the state said that the central prisons in Mumbai, Pune, Thane, Aurangabad, and Nagpur required around 200 additional toilets, bathrooms, and bathing platforms.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are carrying out repair work at the existing toilets and bathrooms. We will soon allocate funds for construction of new toilets and bathrooms too,&#8221; Sakhre said.<\/p>\n<p>The court has now directed the state to submit by February 12 a chart detailing all repair and construction work that is proposed or currently being undertaken, the cost for the same, and the time that will be taken to complete all such work<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Maharashtra government has told the Bombay High Court that it has finally completed formalities to acquire land for a new prison complex here, four years after it made the proposal.
